Hitch extender, part #HE06 for bike rack to clear spare tire

Question:

We have a 97 Roadtrek with a backdoor tire mount. The Thule bike rack cant lock into place because of the tire. Is there an extender that would work for a 2 hitch that would extend the bike rack? Is HE06 the one?

Expert Reply:

The Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver, part #HE06, will give you an extra 7 inches of room. You will need to measure out 7 inches from the the pin hole on your hitch and that will tell you where your bike rack pin hole will connect and if this will be enough clearance.

One thing to consider: using a hitch extender will cut your hitch tongue weight in half. The weight of your bike rack plus bikes must be less than this reduced weight. For example, if your hitch capacity is 6,000 lbs, you are starting with 600 lbs of tongue weight. An extender then will reduce it to 300 lbs.
